MOC: Acropolis in micro

[Chorduroy]

Hello,

This is a MOC I made as a contest entry for a challenge our LUG had at a show to use only one colour. It's supposed to be the acropolis in Greece. : )

Very nice MOC

Nice.

I've done some one-color things, in the past, and I have something sort of going now, and I have enjoyed the way it brings out the shapes of things. I like the architectural look of monochromatic, or color-limited work for that reason. Its just cool to be able to see the differences within parts, and the inventive use of those parts, when the color palette is not interfering. Color is scary for a reason - while it enhances, often, admit it, it can ruin things rather quickly.

I did an all Blue church, using the plans that are available somewhere for a townhouse using parts of the Haunted House set. I'll have to post some photos. It came out really nice; so much so, that it led me to think about other projects done similarly.

And let's be honest - it must've been "economical", to work in all white...
